*** DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

- Have you ever felt like a friend wasn’t hearing you? How did you handle it?

- Why is listening an important part of friendship?

- What does Dr. Friendtastic mean when she says, “The lounder you yell, the harder it is for people to hear you”?

- What is a Yes-No argument? Why do you think kids sometimes get stuck in those? What could they do instead?
